Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1010: Second Letter

[It was a woman in her thirties who appeared on the balcony. She seemed to be in her thirties. She wore a thick fur cloak that tightly wrapped around her thin body. Her facial features were undoubtedly extremely beautiful, but her face was pale and her skin lost its luster. Her cheekbones look very high because she is thin. Her clothes were by no means thin, but standing in the wind gave off the feeling that she would be blown away at any moment.

Weak without wind, what he was talking about was roughly this kind of woman.

The woman gathered the strands of hair that floated down her forehead. Ten years ago, her hair was long and shiny, flowing with a silk luster. But now, they were dim and lacklustre, and if they exerted a bit of strength, they would fall off. Just like now, when the woman put down her hand, there were already a few broken hairs in her palm.

Each broken hair was like a knife, drawing a blood slot in the man's heart. He sighed and took the woman out of the balcony to a quiet room in the castle. The freshly cleaned fireplace in the room was burning firewood, and from time to time a string of sparks sprayed out, blocking the black iron railings by the side of the fireplace. The man helped the woman sit down, got up and went to the fireplace. He moved the dry wood at the stove entrance to make the flames burn more brightly.

The woman leaned against the back of the chair, her eyes slightly drifting away, as if she had used up a lot of her strength just now. She licked her dry lips and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Darling, I don't think we need to discuss this now." The man stood up and asked softly, "Did you take the medicine he sent?"

"Yes, I did. I feel better, so I want to walk around." The woman revealed a weak smile, "You two have looked at each other unpleasantly since you were young. I didn't expect that you would actually look for him."

The man snorted, "If it weren't for the helplessness, I wouldn't want to see him." He paused and whispered, "But only he can get you something to live on now. Even if I don't like him anymore, I will beg him to do so."

"But no matter what, he will do it. As long as he knows it's for you, he can't refuse. It has been like this since the beginning. I know very well."

"I always owe him. I used to, and I still do," the woman said with a gloomy look.

"I will compensate him." The man walked over and slashed across her thin face, "You look better. You need to rest more. Although he found something that can save your life, it doesn't cure the symptoms. To cure the root cause, you still need that kind of thing."

The woman shook her head. "Darling, forget it. You've done so much for me. I don't want you to take any more risks."

'"For your sake, what is this? Besides, I have endured it for so many years. Look, I can't even save you in exchange for my endurance!" Instead, I simply can't bear it anymore. I want to use these hands to retrieve everything I've lost, including the things that can truly cure you! " The man's eyes were sharp as he spoke firmly.

The woman sighed and smiled. She stretched out her skinny palm and placed it in the man's palm. "Then tell me what annoyed you. I can't help you anywhere else, but be your listener. If there's a problem, maybe I can analyze it for you. Didn't you like to tell me about those difficult things before?"

The man shook his head forcefully, "It is because of this that your heart and strength are exhausted, causing you to plant the root of the curse. How can I be wrong again and again?"

The woman laughed, "It doesn't matter. At most, I won't help you think of a way this time. I'll just listen."

The man probably couldn't beat her, so he helplessly said, "Then you have to promise me that you will obediently go to bed and rest after listening to me."

"Alright, I'm not a little girl anymore. There's no need to coax me like this."

"I would like you to be the same girl from back then, so I can coax you for ten years, twenty years, or even longer." The man gently kissed her forehead. He could feel the hard bones beneath that thin layer of skin, causing his heart to tremble. He didn't dare to reveal it and said in a steady voice, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Someone destroyed my arrangement in the Land of Darkness."

"You mean Zhan Lang?"

"Yes, those idiots, they can't even handle a single thing. They're simply stupid to the extreme." The man's voice turned cold. "Especially that Joey. I think he's old and foolish. Let the men and the place go and fight him. Don't think about how easy it is for that person to be able to take two moves in Old Hoey's hands. It's really a waste of my expectations of him. I can't kill him, but it's better for that person."

The woman narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Actually, from the beginning, I didn't approve of you interfering in the Dark Lands. That would always humiliate your status."

The man shook his head. "It's nothing. The Dark Zone has given me a lot of wealth. It's one of my important gold mines. With their support, I can save you and retrieve what I lost. What does it matter if I lose my identity? As long as I can save you, so what if I become a devil?"

"You …" The woman touched his face. "Actually, I was wondering if I chose the wrong person back then. If I chose him, I wouldn't drag you down today …"

"I don't allow you to say that!" The man held her hand and placed it on his chest. "If it weren't for you, this place wouldn't have jumped anymore. Well, it's time for you to go to bed."

The woman said "hmm" and the man raised his head. "Someone," he said.

The two maids walked in and the man said, "Help Madam back to her room to rest." The maid walked over and helped the woman into the inner bedroom. After watching the wooden door of the bedroom close, the man walked to the fireplace and took out a second letter. The envelope was covered with a flower that spat out buds. The man scratched the paste down, opened the envelope, and slid out a letter. The contents of the letter were simpler. There was only one sentence on it: She went to Sardinia.

After the man finished reading, he tossed the envelope and the letter into the stove and whispered, "Go inform the people of Sardinia and tell them that we are ready to move." In the corner of the room, the shadows twisted and a woman half-kneeling on the ground quietly appeared. She nodded and her figure blurred for a moment before disappearing into the air, as if she had never appeared before.

The man watched the letter burn to ashes and remained silent for a long time.

A group of carriages and horses drove out of the darkness and along the rugged mountain road towards Sardinia. From the looks of it, it looked like a caravan. After all, it had a carriage full of goods and a guard with a bright armor and stomach. Especially those riding horses in front of the group. Everyone's aura was condensed, and one could tell that they were good guards. There were also small groups of thieves occupying the land between the Land of Darkness and Sardinia. However, judging from the size of the caravan and the situation they had set out from the Dark Lands, no thief dared to attack the caravan.

The caravan walked for a day, and the road was calm. The atmosphere of the group was lively, especially that of a young man, who was riding a pony and running back and forth between the caravans from time to time. He looked here and there, as if he was going far for the first time.

However, this was the first time Abel had left the Land of Darkness, so everything on the journey was new and interesting to him.

On this day's journey, Abel even served two pheasants as an extra meal for dinner. While the sun was setting, the caravan found a rather spacious woodland and began to set up temporary camps. Several carriages were assembled and guarded by a guard of about twenty men, while the others pulled up their tents on the camp. Alan and Abel went deep into the forest when Fares arranged for men to be on duty. Because Abel had found the excrement of wild boars in the mountains, he swore that wild boars were a rare delicacy, so Alan decided to accompany him to hunt pigs.

Abel was indeed good at tracking prey. This youth was alert and careful, observing carefully. Allen could always find clues from the nuances. Looking at his figure, who was focused on hunting for prey, Allen felt that he was very similar to himself in the past. Abel turned around and gestured for him to shut up. Alan shrugged his shoulders and restrained his smile.

"I found it." Abel gently pushed aside a bush. Sure enough, in the woodland ahead, a mountain boar the size of a calf was arching an old tree. The wild boar was grinding its two fangs with the bark of the tree. The dense fangs scraped the bark away like sharp blades, causing Abel to take a deep breath. The youth murmured, "Not a small head."

At this moment, the boar seemed to have smelled Abel's scent. It stopped grinding its teeth and turned around, but the two eyeballs on its big head were disproportionately small. However, these two small eyes emitted a ferocious light. At this moment, the hard hair on the wild boar's body flashed a burst of earthen yellow light. Its aura immediately rose by three points and it rushed towards Abel.

Alan hurriedly picked up the youth and threw him back. The dangerous beasts of Heaven Star were naturally sensitive to Origin Energy and knew how to use it. Just like this wild boar, it had just used Origin Energy to improve its basic qualities. The big fellow's skin was thick and thick, but now its defense and strength had increased by quite a bit. If Abel were to be hit, he would definitely turn into a ball of meat sauce.

In the eyes of the wild boar, the young man's figure was suddenly replaced by a young man, but to him, it was no different. It rushed straight over, but the young man's aura suddenly became rough and hard, making it instinctively want to turn around and run away. But at this time, it was sprinting with all its might, so how could it stop just like that?

Ellen was not polite either. He raised his fist and threw it at the wild boar. The sharp howl of a heavy object piercing through the air caused Abel to feel better when he heard the fist move, and he had no choice but to cover his ears tightly with both of his hands. Then, he saw the mountain boar, which was full of tonnage, being sent flying by Allen's punch, and its two fangs snapped apart. The wild boar flew out with a spinning projectile. With a tragic cry, it turned in mid-air for a few weeks before falling heavily on a bush, directly flattening the bush. When Abel ran over, he discovered that the big fellow's head had sunk in. He had already died to the point that he could no longer die.

The youth was speechless. He thought to himself, "How much power does this require to smash the mountain wild boar to death with one punch?"
